Shawn Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 that's quite an epic setlist! I hope they filmed that sucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Skid Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Thanks for the headsup! Also available through amazon.com for preorder (and also a new Opeth 2 DVD set and 2 DVD 3 CD set) Anybody picked up the 5-disc Opeth set yet? Some clips from the DVDs: Clip #1 Clip #2 Clip #3 Clip #4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Yes, Shawn and I watched most of the first DVD last night. EXCELLENT! Sound, picture, performance all first rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Skid Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Cool! Order placed! I wish more artists would include audio CDs when releasing concert DVDs. It's nice to have both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 that Opeth DVD set is amazing. The first disc is the entire Blackwater Park album (which they've done quite a bit of alteration to over the years), the second disc is another almost 2 hour set featuring 1 song from each of their albums in chronological order. As Jazzbo said, the audio & video quality is excellent (same engineer that worked on Watershed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Some cool pics from the Radio City show at Studio M Live's website... Interesting to see them set up for an acoustic set: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 Nice shots! Almost 30 years to the day when the Grateful Dead did acoustical sets there. To further go off on a tangent but bringing it back to Steve Wilson, Burning Shed just posted the latest King Crimson anniversary releases (Steve's been co-producing, remixing etc. the remasters.)

Bright Moments Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 just enjoyed Voyage 34 - the complete trip and quite a trip it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 PT played the Royal Albert Hall last night, and it appears to have been the same setlist as Radio City Music Hall, with the exception that they played "Trains" after "Arriving Somewhere" at the end of the show. I'm hopeful of a live CD recording of one/both of these shows at some point. The shows weren't recorded for DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie87 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) Oh also - SW has three new acoustic/unplugged tracks available for free at Soundcloud - Time Flies, Trains, and I Drive The Hearse! Performed by SW and John Wesley. Here Edited October 15, 2010 by Aggie87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 just enjoyed Voyage 34 - the complete trip and quite a trip it was! anyone else share my enthusiasm? If you like that one check out Sky Moves Sideways or the 40 minute Moonloop! I think you'll dig both. No spoken word narrative stuff like Voyage 34 though.

jazzbo Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) just enjoyed Voyage 34 - the complete trip and quite a trip it was! anyone else share my enthusiasm? I must say. . . my least favorite "type" of Porcupine Tree. I prefer them post-Signify, they really "click" for me in the harder, more concise settings.

Aggie87 Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Some more stuff on Soundcloud - this time it's the 5 tracks that were on the deluxe Insurgentes bonus cd! Port Rubicon, Puncture Wound, Collecting Space, Insurgentes (Mexico version), The 78. Plus a 1997 demo version of "London" that was previously available on the old PT.com, when they used to put up occasional exclusive tracks there. Cool stuff - the Insurgentes tracks are every bit as good as what's on the album itself. Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) SW Update from Facebook: "My second solo album is nearing completion. It will be in the form of 2 separate 40 minute albums released in the same 2 CD set, and will also come as a blu-ray with surround mix, high definition stereo and a lot of visual material (Lasse is already working hard on films for many of the songs, attached is a still from one of these we shot a couple of weeks ago to a song called "Index"). We're also planning a special Insurgentes style hard back book edition with a full length bonus CD of additional material. A year in the making, this is without doubt my biggest project to date, perhaps my most ambitious and personal music, and with some phenomenal musicians and performances on it (drummer Nic France in particular is going to blow a lot of people away). We hope a website will launch around April/May to start previewing material, with the album scheduled for September. More soon...." I'm excited! 3 cds of new SW!

Shawn Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) nice little interview and chord demonstration. and.... the teaser trailer for the new solo record "Grace For Drowning" Edited June 10, 2011 by Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 update from Facebook....new solo album is a double CD and he's going to tour behind it! I'm very happy to announce that following the release of my new solo album "Grace For Drowning" in September, I will be undertaking my first ever solo tour of Europe and North America. For this tour I am very fortunate to have the talents of an extraordinary line up of musicians to perform the music - Marco Minnemann on drums, Nick Beggs on bass, Aziz Ibrahim on guitar, Gary Husband on keyboards, and Theo Travis on flute / sax. And myself (not extraordinary) on vocals, guitars and keyboards. The shows will also include a lot of multimedia and films, material that is being especially prepared by Lasse Hoile as we speak. The music will be drawn from both my solo albums (the newest of which is a double CD, so there is plenty of material to choose from), but please do not come along and shout out for PT songs! The dates will be announced in the next 24 hours or so at www.gracefordrowning.com, but run approximately from mid October to mid November. Please come along if you can, I think these shows are going to be quite an adventure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I don't know about anyone else, but getting a new Steven Wilson solo album and the new Wilson-mixed Opeth album both in September has me thrilled! It's going to be a kick ass month for modern prog rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a kick ass month for modern prog rock. And I think a couple of the Wilson remixed/remastered 40th Anniversary King Crimson discs are coming out around this time too, as far as not-quite-as-modern. I'm onboard for all of it!
